Our Corporate Responsibility Approach
Since its inception, Doğuş Group has based all its business practices on corporate citizenship and has adopted the mission of contributing to the community through corporate responsibility projects it has undertaken in parallel with the various businesses it engages in. Through this approach, the Group not only contributes to the economy but also supports social development and environmental sustainability. The common feature of all the projects undertaken by the group is that they are sustainable and they support each other. Since its inception in 1992, The Ayhan Şahenk Foundation has been undertaking initiatives in education, health and the environment as well as offering social aid to those in disadvantaged areas.

The Group has signed the UN Global Compact in April 2007 to underscore its perspective and commitment on corporate responsibility. Through this policy initiative, the Group has committed itself to aligning its operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
By issuing the first corporate citizenship report in April 2009, Doğuş Group has both met its commitment as a member of the Global Compact, and has also had the opportunity to share with its stakeholders its progress in the area of the ten universal principles. The Group has been continuing its reporting activities since 2009 and issued its most recent report covering 2011 in May 2012.
